Yet another "ask a ___" thread, so I guess I'm doing one as well. Any questions for a Marxist/Communist?
If I join, do I get a free Kalachnikov ?

Well there are many political lines in Marxism as of today. Although from a historical analytical perspective, what is your opinion of Enver Hoxha?

How do you answer Milton Freidman's objection that a capitalist free-market is a necessary pre-condition to the establishment of any true deliberative democracy and therefore, socialist or marxist states can only ever be, at best, democracies in a technical sense?
Also, what is your response to Hayek's studies in the '50s that showed the concerntration of political and economic power in the hands of the administrator class - which is an inherent feature of any state with a completely government controlled economy - results in an even greater concentration of wealth as a fraction of the state's total assets than in capitalist nations?
